I walked down the Cayuta Outlet gorge this morning, looking for the usual specialties. Canada Warblers, Hermit Thrushes, Blue-headed Vireos, etcetera. I didn't find any Winter Wrens, but I feel sure there must be some...
On the way downstream I also found no Acadian Flycatcher, which didn't much surprise me as I've struck out repeatedly there in recent years, and figured they had abandoned the Cayuta Gulf. I turned around at the black locust truss bridge constructed by Cornell Engineering students (which is about due for rebuilding, I think), and headed upstream again. Approximately 1,000 meters below the head of the gorge, I found an ACADIAN FLYCATCHER singing, possibly in response to the penetration of sunshine, which doesn't really reach the floor of the shady gorge until 9:00 am. -Geo Kloppel -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
